Vivo refreshes its premium mid-range V series lineup twice every year, and the upcoming Vivo V80 appears to be no exception. According to a new leak, the phone is scheduled to launch in mid-August.
The leak comes from X tipster Sanju Choudhary, who also shared some of the key specifications. The device reportedly packs a 6.59″ flat AMOLED panel, the same as last year, but with the refresh rate bumped up to 144Hz from 120Hz on the V70. That should enable 144fps gameplay in supported titles.
On the performance side, the V80 apparently retains the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset that powered the last two generations. The V70 offered a modest improvement over its predecessor, with Geekbench tests showing roughly a 14% increase in multi-core scores while single-core performance remained almost unchanged. It will be interesting to see how Vivo positions the V80 and makes use of the higher refresh rate.
One of the highlights this year is expected to be a significant battery upgrade: 7,200mAh on the V80 compared to 6,500mAh on its predecessor. It could be paired with 90W wired fast charging, and bypass charging support is also anticipated.
The camera setup reportedly includes a 50MP main sensor, a 50MP 3x telephoto, an 8MP ultrawide, and a 50MP selfie shooter. These resolution numbers match those of the predecessor, though the leak does not reveal further details such as sensor sizes or aperture values.
The Vivo V80 is rumored to be a rebrand of the China-exclusive Vivo S60 released earlier this year. The specifications match except for the chipset, as the latter is powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3. Other expected features include IP68/IP69 dust and water resistance and a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint scanner.
